Docs: Rename Message templates to Notification templates (#59477)

This commit renames "Message templates" to "Notification templates"
in the user interface as it suggests that these templates cannot
be used to template anything other than the message. However, message
templates are much more general and can be used to template other fields
too such as the subject of an email, or the title of a Slack message.

# Message templating
# Notification templating
Notifications sent via contact points are built using messaging templates. Grafana's default templates are based on the [Go templating system](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template) where some fields are evaluated as text, while others are evaluated as HTML (which can affect escaping). The default template, defined in [default_template.go](https://github.com/grafana/alerting/blob/main/alerting/notifier/channels/default_template.go), is a useful reference for custom templates.

Since most of the contact point fields can be templated, you can create reusable custom templates and use them in multiple contact points. The default template is defined in [default_template.go](https://github.com/grafana/alerting/blob/main/alerting/notifier/channels/default_template.go) which can serve as a useful reference or starting point for custom templates.

HTML in alerting message templates is escaped. We do not support rendering of HTML in the resulting notification.
HTML in alerting notification templates is escaped. We do not support rendering of HTML in the resulting notification.
Some notifiers support alternative methods of changing the look and feel of the resulting notification. For example, Grafana installs the base template for alerting emails to `<grafana-install-dir>/public/emails/ng_alert_notification.html`. You can edit this file to change the appearance of all alerting emails.

# Contact points
Use contact points to define how your contacts are notified when an alert rule fires. A contact point can have one or more contact point types, for example, email, slack, webhook, and so on. When an alert rule fires, a notification is sent to all contact point types listed for a contact point. Contact points can be configured for the Grafana Alertmanager as well as external alertmanagers.
You can also use notification templating to customize notification messages for contact point types.
## Supported contact point types
The following table lists the contact point types supported by Grafana.
